In 1969, the truck driver Fang Daqiang welcomed his fetus daughters of dragon and phoenix: Fang Deng and Fang Da in prayer. His wife Li Yuanni almost died because of a difficult childbirth. Fortunately, the mother and child were safe, and the family left the hospital happily and lived an ordinary but happy life ever since. Time went to 1976, Tangshan, a medium-sized industrial city, although the family only had a small space, they were warm and harmonious. Sister Fang Deng is obviously more lively than his younger brother Fang Da. Fang Daqiang often goes out and finally returns once. Both siblings are very happy. One evening in July, Fang Daqiang returned to his home. On the road outside the community, Fang Daqiang and Yuan Ni hid in the truck and made affection. Suddenly, there was an earthquake.
To save the child, Fang Daqiang died. Fang Deng and Fang Da were pressed on both sides by the same floor. No matter which one people wanted to save, they had to give up the other. Yuan Ni chose Fang Da, her frail and sickly younger brother, and Fang Deng, who had a sober mind, heard the decision her mother had made. After the earthquake, Yuan Ni raised her son alone and chose to live strong. Fang Deng, who survived the disaster, was adopted by soldiers Wang Deqing and his wife and entered a whole new world. From now on, the mother and daughter, siblings and siblings went on separate sides, and it was not until the Wenchuan earthquake 32 years later that their life trajectories came together again
